Public Disc losure Authorized SENEGAL MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECT (P161477) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASSESSMENT (ESIA) FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE MBEUBEUSS DUMPSITE Pub lic Disc losure Authorized 1. INTRODUCTION Senegal is currently preparing a Senegal Solid Waste Management Project (PROMOGED) . The project will be funded by French Development Agency (AFD), the Spanish Agency for Cooperation and Development (AECID) and the World Bank IDA. The project will be implemented by the “Unite de Coordination et de Gestion (UCG) at the Ministry of Urbanism , Housing and Living Environment. The project will benefit the following agglomerations: Dakar; Thiès; North (including the regions of Saint-Louis and Matam); and the Casamance (comprising of the regions of Ziguinchor, Sedhiou, and Kolda) . Project Development objectives : The project development objective is to strengthen the governance of solid waste management in Senegal and improve solid waste management services in selected municipalities. Specifically, the project will: • propose a series of reforms and targeted policy actions designed to improve institutional, regulatory and financial governance in the sector; • improve domestic solid waste management all along the chain, while promoting integrated waste management in target communities, by reinforcing inter-communal planning and execution; • To create contextualized and sustainable management systems, with maximum feasible implication of the private sector. • improve the socio-economic performance of the sector by making profitable use of waste; The project is structured around the following components: • Component 1: Strengthening Sector Governance and Institutional Capacity: This component aims to strengthen the institutional framework governing the sector, ensure the effectiveness of investments, and create a favorable environment for private sector investments in the solid waste sector. • Component 2. Improving Solid Waste Infrastructure and Service in Selected Agglomerations: To improve solid waste services for citizens in targeted municipalities especially women, this component will finance waste management facilities and equipment needed to establish or improve (where it already exists) the delivery of waste management services in Greater Dakar and three secondary agglomerations, namely, Thiès (Thiès, Mbour and Tivaouane), North (Saint Louis and Matam), Casamance (Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sedhiou) . • Component 3: Project management, coordination, communication, monitoring and evaluation. As part of this project, the Mbeubeus dumpsite in Dakar will be rehabilitated. 2. CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES OF MBEUBEUSS’S DUMPSITE REHABILITATION Rehabilitation of the dumpsite is a means of reducing the current impacts noted within and around the dumpsite. This environmental and social impact study of the Mbeubeuss dumpsite rehabilitation project isan essential step in the rehabilitation of the site under sustainable ecological and social conditions. The installation of a transfer and sorting station (CTT ) and a composting platform is part of the rehabilitation of the dumpsite, which aims to stop the process of environmental degradation and the reintegration of the dumpsite in the natural environment. The Mbeubeuss dumpsite is still in operation and will remain so until the new treatment infrastructures are built and operational. The approach of the project provides for a gradual rehabilitation of the Mbeubeuss dumpsite linked to the setting up of sorting and composting infrastructures. The purpose of the Mbeubeuss dumpsite disposal operation is to: -restore the site; -store in environmental and sanitary safety non-recoverable waste during the rehabilitation phase; -sort and valorize in matter and in compost of the reusable materials The waste that will transit through the Sorting and Transfer Center (CTT) at Mbeubeuss will come mainly from the depa

FAQs

What is the purpose of the ESIA executive summary for the Mbeubeuss dumpsite rehabilitation?
